It’s another case of two McSerials for the price of one on McStorytellers today. Hot on the heels of the latest instalment of Annie Christie’s The Soundtrack of Our Lives, here now is the fifth instalment of Wick-based writer Kevin Crowe’s gripping debut novel, Behind Bars.

Kathleen and Brendan begin to prosper in their new location in Birmingham. No longer on the game, Kathleen is making a name for herself as a folk singer, while Brendan has a steady job and income. Life couldn’t be better for the pair – for now, at least. Read the full story today in Chapters Nine & Ten. Then get yourself back here in a fortnight’s time for the next instalment.

And remember, if you’ve missed any of the earlier instalments, you can catch up with them by tapping (or using your cursor to hover over) ​Oor McSerials in the left-hand sidebar and then following the trail.
